Package: memtest86
Version: 3.5-2
Severity: important

Memtest86 is malfunctioning on a ia32 (x86) Intel D875PBZ motherboard
(chipset i875), with 4GB of ECC SDRAM.

The malfunction was verified by cross-testing with Memtest86+, which
doesn't output any errors.  Also the box works just fine.

The error syndrome is on test 2, Memtest86 starts detecting a *MASSIVE*
ammount of errors, to the point of not accepting any user input because it
is too busy updating the screen.  Hardware reset is required to get out of
it.

Error mask is 0xffffffa, detects 2 errors on bank 0, then goes wild
detecting errors on bank 2.
